You Can Have the Dog You’ve Always Wanted

Imagine being able to include your dog in your lifestyle with ease—enjoying peaceful dog walks in the park, fun hikes on a local trail, or a relaxing meal at an outdoor café.

If that sounds like a hopeless dream for you and your dog, it doesn’t have to be. Whether your dog drags you down the street or barks frantically at other dogs and strangers, we know from personal experience how frustrating that can be. We are here to help!

Our Approach

We’ll start by teaching you how to build on the good in your relationship! We’ll also teach you how to understand your dog and their motivations so you know WHY they’re behaving the way they are. We find that behavior problems are the result of a breakdown in communication between us and our dogs. Creating clarity and an open line of communication between YOU and YOUR dog is our number one priority! Once we’ve got an open line of communication, we can address the behavior issues you’re experiencing with your dog!

It doesn’t take hours a day to teach your dog how to behave though! In fact, we teach you how to get the best out of your dog with just 10 to 15 minutes each day! We know you’re busy, so we want to make it easy to follow-through!

And best of all, each and every one of our clients is SUPER successful! Many of them have worked with other trainers and yet they weren’t getting the results they wanted. After implementing our programs, they’re able to do more with their dog than they ever imagined!

We teach you to train your dog so that you can be a team! Ideal for both owners struggling with pesky nuisance behaviors and those with more challenging behaviors!

From puppy to adult!

Board and Train

Perfect for families with busy schedules who ALSO want a well-behaved dog! We lay a strong foundation and build on it with real-world distractions! Then we teach you how to follow-through!

“Leila gave us all of the tools and knowledge to be able to handle nearly any situation, and she observed us with Artoo to make sure we knew exactly what to do. We now have a foundation of trust and understanding on both sides, which is more than we ever could’ve asked for!”
